how his actions are going to help him not only in the\u00a0classroom but in life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Be seen, not heard:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>If what teachers want is enthusiastic, hardworking students, we need to emulate that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Build a rapport:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>There are ways to

efforts when necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Incentivize:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>A homework pass or a school-wide acknowledgment of their successes are great

<b>intrinsic motivation <\/b>in students:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Why Autonomy Matters<\/b> \u2013 Giving students a role in deciding what their educational experience looks like can help motivate them; having a say in their classroom environment, being able to choose their homework assignment, allowing them to develop ideas for their own assignments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Praising Competence Instead of Natural Ability<\/b> \u2013 Students are more likely to do something if they feel like they have the ability to be successful doing it; praising effort instead of natural ability, showing students their growth over a semester, having students become teachers to their classmates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Helping Students Relate to Others<\/b> \u2013 Building relationships with peers and teachers helps students feel cared about by people they respect.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Create learning situations in which students come to like and respect their classmates; provide opportunities to work with such classmates; create positive relationships between teachers and students.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Making Students\u2019 Work Relevant<\/b> \u2013 For students to feel motivated, they must see the work they are doing in the classroom as interesting, valuable, and useful to their present lives.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Have lesson plans and discussions about topics prevalent in students\u2019 lives; have students set academic and non-academic goals; challenge students to write about why and what they are learning is relevant.<span
